Trauma-Informed Occupational Therapy in Women’s Health (EPUB)

Trauma-Informed Occupational Therapy in Women’s Health equips occupational therapy practitioners and allied healthcare professionals with the tools and knowledge needed to deliver trauma-informed care in women’s health.

Across a lifespan perspective, it explores the impacts of trauma―from adolescence to older adulthood―while addressing critical topics such as birth trauma, intimate partner violence, and care for marginalized populations. Featuring practical strategies, evidence-based frameworks, and innovative interventions, this book empowers practitioners to foster resilience, recovery, and meaningful engagement in women’s lives. Vignettes provide clear examples of how women’s pain has too often been dismissed, misunderstood, ignored, overlooked, or misdiagnosed.

This book is an essential resource for advancing trauma-informed care in occupational therapy to empower health professionals to move beyond checklists and deliver care that is relational, inclusive, and truly healing.
